Vers:

Em                        B7
  Twenty-four years ago today I was a baby born and
Em                          B7
  That s the day I started singing my song 
Em                        B7                          Em              B7
  It wasn t long before I felt the river water send a chill into my bones



Pre-Chorus:

     Em                B7
They told me, they re washin  me clean
Em                           B7
this is the blood to keep me cool and serene
      Em         B7
They told me, I gotta believe
Em                         B7
  And now today I swear to god 
                             Em        B7
I m gonna find out what they mean




Chorus:

         C                  B7
 Cuz the privileged life is taking its toll
  Em            A7
I got nobody no where to go but
C               B7
Maybe it s just me I m afraid of


Em   B7   2x

  Twenty-four years I’ve been a man I ve done the best I can and
Em                        B7

  It took some time to find the man that I was trying to hide but

 Now I can finally say I found my way home
